OXFORD!

We got up early and we had the typical breakfast. Then, we got dress and we put on comfortable shoes because today would be a long day and we were going to walk a lot!
We started the first lesson at nine o'clock that last for and hour and after that we had a break. We did two more hours of lessons and had one break more. When we finished, we had lunch and then we took the train. Next station: OXFORD!
For some of us it was the first time we were there, others have been there twice, and for others knew the city like the back of their hand. But all of us had a surprise expression in the face when we saw the most important colleges. We visited two colleges. One of them was the Jesus College, and we learnt his history. But we didn't forget to buy some souvenirs, a usual activity everybody does when he or she goes abroad to remember the trip. In Oxford there are a lot of souvenirs shops and it's very typical to buy a jumper or a t-shirt. So, in our free time, we went shopping and we bought clothes of different colours that have different messages on it: I<3Oxford, Oxford University...
After that hard day, we came back to Leamington by train and we took the bus to go home, were our host families were waiting for us. We were really tired, but we enjoyed the day and had a very good time.
